The same in New York City. Sadly People living in and around the subway stations and on the streets has become accepted. Some even call them the mole People. Disturbing. As a Veteran who was nearly homeless many of the homeless People you see are Veterans. Doesn’t say anything good regarding our country.
Yeah I met a transient who was/is a veteran and took his picture too. Between homeless vets and homeless mentally ill, the US has become a place of despair.
Yes. The indifference by the U.S. government is horrific. However I must say that many churches, temples and synagogues are reaching out to the homeless by providing food and clothing. New York does have many homeless shelters. There are also private organizations that provide services to the homeless. It will always boggle my mind that the richest country in the world doesn’t do more to alleviate poverty and inequality.
Such a stark image. When will we understand homelessness can happen to any of us and to have more compassion as a society?
(I can only speak for my own).
God thank you for sharing this. Blessings to him and to the images that you offer to us Kathy. I really appreciate you and your dedication to raising awareness to make this world a place of love.
Homelessness is an epidemic that must be alleviated. This country has more than enough money to eradicate it. Instead of tax cuts for the rich, how about getting homeless people, much of them our service men and women, off these streets.

Thank you. I’m not sure we will. We seem to be a society that doesn’t have perspective until we’re in the other person’s shoes, unfortunately.

Ours is a nation of stark contrasts. Some people have so very, very little. I doubt that this will ever change.

Amazing that policy makers and fiscal captains fail to see these needs laying at our feet.
